    I used to own that car haha mine had different steelies on it. I had basic steelies that were meant to have hubcaps. These steelies have that awkward center "literal" hub-cap.

    Let me dig up a pic of my old rolla.....

    The vacant house across the street where I park my car is being auctioned by the bank on the 20th.
    Dammit.
    I gotta park in the street or some shit now.

    The yard is pretty steep near the driveway. There's a wall around 3/4 of it because it's dug into the side of a hill. There really isn't any good place on my lawn to park a car.

    Just got back from Cars and Coffee, most people ended up leaving earlier since it's so hot out, hopefully we'll have a better showing when the weather starts to cool down this fall.
    I got a picture while pulled over on Lime Creek Road to investigate what had happened to a motorcyclist that had died there a few days ago, that corner is notorious for being very dangerous if you're going too fast. You could see debris from many different motorcycles and cars alike there.

    And yes, I don't have a rear view mirror at the moment. I sent the mirror in to get it repaired, since the auto-dimming mirror failed when I first got the car.
    I'm currently waiting on BMW of Austin for the Takata airbag recall, since the parts needed are still on back order from BMW. My E46 was produced on December 10th, 2002, so it applies for the recall. I might just pull the airbag fuse until then, since I've heard it's worse in humid climates.

    Did you ever see the pic of the little '86 camry i had before the Grand Marquis? It was a more boxy version of the corolla there, but it had some cool oem toyota centercaps on the steelies.

    The first ever Peter Brock HDT Commodore just sold for $125,000. Money well spent

    $125,000 for a commodore with some tuning and a body kit. but I guess its the sentimental value.

    Its a lot more than just some "tuning and a body kit". This was the closest you could get at the time to a road legal V8 Super Car.

    My classmate has a Opel Senator.

    Over the schoolyear he made me fall in love with these.

    *not exact car

    Seems like a preferable option to an BMW 5er or the Audi V8

    Holden really fucked up when they received that as a donor car for the VN Commodore. Seriously Holden. Dafuq do you call this?

    Though I think they made it look better than the Opel in 1994, Just my personal opinion though. (Its amazing how different the same body can look though)

    I guess so what I meant by tuning was putting better suspension/brakes , better engine components and weeks of track testing.

    dat grille though doesn't really fit the car.

    the thing about the skoda full of vegetables was my dads idea and I apologize about my spelling errors and bad grammar its caused by my Asperger's also I forgot to revise my post before I sent it you can occasionally spot spelling mistakes in my posts but that doesn't make me immature.

    when I was browsing on Trade me I found this a late 70s Subaru Brumby similar to what my dad had.

    there are a few 80's brumby's laying around in New Zealand but the 70's models are really rare my dad hasn't seen one in years.

    It looks like someone wanted to crashtest (something like, I know, this one has only six wheels) BTR-80 in real life. (the driver of the Passat had only minor bruises)

    I do remember seeing some pics of it, pretty cool little car.
    Wasn't it junked because it started leaking oil or something?

    and I have to wear my glasses everyhwere I go / do. Even when I'm at my computer desk I've been wearing my glasses.

    Yay...

    But honestly, it SUCKS for the first few weeks, but then you get used to them after a little white, they do get annoying being on your head from time to time but you'll get used to them as time goes on, now when I take my glassess off, it feels like its still on D:

    But trust me, its amazing to see things clearly after not seeing things clearly for so long, it'll really show how blind you are :)
